Fishing with Captains Ronnie and Leo means becoming part of a rich heritage that has been passed down through the years. Captain Ronnie, an avid fisherman with over 25 years of expertise, discovered his love for fishing thanks to his brother, and he has been devoted to the sport ever since. Having spent more than 20 years guiding fishing trips, Ronnie is well-known for consistently helping anglers catch fish, particularly his prized target: Striped Bass. His enthusiasm for fishing runs deep, and one of his greatest joys is sharing this passion with his son.
Meet Captain Leo, now 21, who has grown up immersed in fishing and learning directly from his father. Bringing youthful energy and the same commitment as Ronnie, Leo offers a modern twist combined with tried-and-true fishing techniques. Together, this father-and-son team expertly navigates the waters, whether it’s seeking out stripers or going after massive offshore game fish, ensuring each trip is memorable.
As a testament to Ronnie's skill, he once fought a colossal 701-pound Bluefin Tuna for over three hours – a story that inspires anglers to pursue their own epic fishing adventures. With Captains Ronnie and Leo leading the way, you’re not simply booking a fishing trip; you’re joining a family tradition filled with great catches, joyous moments, and lasting memories.
Everyone had a fantastic time. The family thoroughly enjoyed the experience, including the kids and my father—they’ve been talking about it nonstop!
